Metallica Announce European Tour Dates, Fans to Choose Setlist

Metallica have announced that they will be making â€œtwo short treksâ€ across Europe next Summer and have revealed that they will be inviting fans to choose the setlist they play.

â€œAs we embark on two short treks through Europe this summer, weâ€™re going to give you, the ticket holders, the chances to vote on what songs you would like to hear at the shows that you attend,â€ comment the band. â€œWe normally play around 18 songs a night, and since we didnâ€™t want to be left out of the fun, the band also gets to voteâ€¦ and we vote for a NEW SONG! That leaves the other 17 slots for you to choose.

â€œHere are a few dates to get you started: June 4, 2014 â€“ Sonisphere Hamburg, June 6, 2014 â€“ Rock Im Park, and June 8, 2014 â€“ Rock Am Ring.â€

In addition to the fan-picked setlist, Metallica will also play some new material.
